Eddie Jordan, the former Formula One team owner and current co-owner of London Irish rugby club, has died at the age of 76.
Jordan revealed in December that he had been undergoing treatment for “aggressive” bladder and prostate cancer but said that he had “pulled out of it, thankfully”, urging men to get their prostates checked.
The cancer is understood to have returned aggressively. Jordan died in South Africa, where he lived for part of the year.
Jordan founded his eponymous team in 1991, becoming a huge paddock figure during that decade. Jordan Grand Prix achieved their best-ever result when drivers Damon Hill and Ralf Schumacher finished first and second at the Belgian Grand Prix in 1998.
